We always think it is interesting that a regular DC motor and a generator are about the same thing. Sure, each is optimized for its purpose, but inefficiencies aside, you can use electricity to rotate ...

How optical rotary encoders can provide real-time motion feedback on motion applications using stepper motor-driven linear actuators. Stepper motor linear actuators with added optical encoders (From ...

Titanio series stepper drives from Ever Motion Solutions include three new drives available with two open-loop (no encoder ...

Festo’s new stepper motor series — EMMT-ST — features absolute encoders, IP65 protection, holding brakes and control via a single cable. OEMs have the choice of an absolute single-turn encoder or ...

As usual, the needs of the application play a major role in determining which is the best type of motor to use. As the shift to automation continues to gain momentum in the industrial sector, servo ...

Trinamic Motion Control claims to be making the “smallest single-axis servo controller-driver module with integrated motion control”. TMCM-1321, as it is known, controls two-phase bipolar stepper ...
